Form field problem Safari, Firefox

Hi,

Anyone have issues with mouse clicking on form fields when using Firefox or
Safari? All three fields can be accessed via mouse click when using IE,
however if I use Firefox or Safari the "email" field will not allow access via
mouse click, only the tab button. Thanks for your help!

Your labels are foobar.

Change this:

<label>Password
<input type="password" name="textfield2" />
email
<input name="textfield3" type="text" />
</label>

to this:

<label>Password
<input type="password" name="textfield2" />
</label>
<label>Email
<input type="text" name="textfield3" />
</label>

One label, one form control.

And remove the label from the submit button - it doesn't make sense.

Micha,

Thanks for the quick response, works fine now..

Isn't there something goofy about labels that wrap tags as opposed to those
that are associated to tags using the "for" attribute?

Change this:

label>Password
input type="password" name="textfield2" /
email
input name="textfield3" type="text" /
/label

to this:

label>Password
input type="password" name="textfield2" /
/label
label>Email
input type="text" name="textfield3" /
/label

One label, one form control.

Both ways are correct and make sense, IMHO. The explicit association
works more reliable in older browsers and also allows to separate the
label from the control structurally, while the implicit association is
shorter and creates the connection between the label and the control
directly on the markup level.
